gentle Mrs. Hay, who had overheard the
eager words.

Mary went singing about her work
that afternoon. Her heart was light as
any feather. Why, why had she not re-

But the next day, when she and her
mother Mrs. Hay carrying the basket
and Mary merrily trundling the barrow
along before her went down to the
orchard, whose slopes extended to the
glittering steel lines Of the railway, 10
and behold! the trees were utterly
stripped Of their golden load.
Mary burst into tears. She sat down
on the edge of the wheelbarrow and hid
her head in her mothers apron like q

Slowly and sadly the two women
toiled back up the hill with the wheel
barrow and the basket. Mr.. Hay. just
returned from the harvest field, heard
their story with amazement.
It's the first time that ever tree Of

The ladies Of the fund committee
were at Mrs. Biggard's house that after

A good many faithful and devout

Mr.. Mildmay sauntered in toward tea

Almira Biggard for the beautiful jars of
preserved ounces which had found
their way to the rectory, when Mrs.
